[edit] Younger defends records policy

"Albany Mayor Willie Adams cited a lack of communication as a major reason for the Albany Police Department’s ongoing battle with local media outlets over the information that is submitted by the department in its incident reports during an Albany City Commission work session Tuesday morning.

APD Chief James Younger told commissioners his officers had been directed to complete reports with the “who, what, when and where” needed by media to report on incidents that occur in the city, but that information which might “jeopordize a case or put citizens in harm’s way” would not be included in reports given to the media."
